Th«e is also a Dysfimctional Family Group, but it is filled for the rest of the semester. The counseling center also has discus sions on various topics to coincide with special emphasis weeks. During Black Emphasis Week, there will be a discussion called “For Black Women Only” on Feb. 12 in the center at nooiL Look for other discus sions during Alcohol Awareness W«ek. Roberts says, “My primary re^nsibil- ity is to see the students.” Most of the time, the center is busy and there may be a small waiting time for an appointment, usually a few days. Information about the counseling center is available through hall meetings, yoiu" Resident Assistant, flyers in the mail and on the center’s bulletin board.

The counseling center would like to welcome two new faces to the department, Barbara Bettini and Tracy Knight. Bettini is a counselor who came to Meredith in Oct., 1989 after working in the Research Triangle Park with troubled employees. Bettini says, “I’ve always been inter ested in working with women especially in a college environment.” It is exciting to help women reach their full potential and improve their self-es- teem, during such a growing period in their lives, believes Bettini. She does individual counseling and leads a support group for students of dysfunc tional families. Bettini is in the center Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Also new to the counseling center is Tracy Knight, the office assistant. Knight was a reentry student who gradu ated in May, 1989 from Meredith with an English degree. “I wanted to work at Meredith because I loved the people and the campus. I just didn’t want to leave,” said Knight. Besides being an office assistant, she also is a poet. Recently, Knight won the Emerging Artist Grant from the Raleigh City Arts. Knight’s poetry is a “strong voice for women and animal rights.” She has been published in Pembroke Mapazinft and the Roanoke Review. Another interest in Knight’s life is the rights of animals. She said, “My personal concern is to get the campus cats neuto«d and into good homes.” Currently, she has found homes for 16 Meredith cats. Meredith welcomes Tracy Knight and Barbara Bettini, and wishes them luck.
